Change order photos

Change-order photos that prove the extra work
Rotten framing, hidden pipe, a bigger opening — extra work without photos is a conversation. Capture the condition on site, keep change order photos in the job album by address, share one link, and attach the proof to the revised estimate or invoice.

The problem
Extra work without photos is just an argument
If the rot is already in the dumpster, you cannot prove the change. Change order photos belong in the job album by address, on a link the owner can open, and on the revised estimate.

From the surprise in the wall to a billed change
Shoot the condition, file it by address, share one link, then attach extra-work proof to the revised estimate or invoice.
01
Capture on site
Use mobile jobsite photography from iPhone or Android — snap progress, before and after service photos, and walkthrough shots into the field photo app. Your technicians and crew already carry the camera.

02
Organize by project
Pin the job address so every service job photo lands in the right project photo album — field technician documentation that stays searchable months later for warranties and callbacks.

Before and after service photos
Remodelers, HVAC techs, landscapers, and plumbers close faster when clients scroll a clear before/after story in one project photo album — then attach the estimate while the transformation is fresh.

Sound familiar?
Four ways extra-work proof disappears
Mixed camera roll
Service job photos from four visits sit in one camera roll — impossible to find the right field technician documentation when a client calls.
Album per project
Organize jobsite photos by project address so every shot stays in the correct project photo album.
Crew out of sync
Technicians text photos to dispatch, dispatch texts the office, and nobody has the full set when it is time for field service photo sharing.
Crew on one album
Crew photo sharing on site feeds one timeline — field technicians and office see the same service job photos.
Unprofessional handoffs
Twenty compressed texts or a Drive permission maze does not look like field technician documentation.
One client link
Share service job photos with clients through a clean browser gallery from your page — keep adding without re-sending.
Photos ≠ paperwork
You prove the work in photos, then switch apps to quote, schedule, or invoice.
Page + CRM
Attach before and after service photos to estimates and invoices under one brand on your page.
Extra work proof that is more than a conversation
“We found rot” does not bill. Change order photos show the condition before you tear it out. One album by address keeps that proof with the rest of the job so you are not hunting a text from last Tuesday.
Show the owner before you proceed
A live link is faster than waiting for someone to walk the site. They see the extra work, you send the revised estimate with those stills attached, and the job keeps moving.

When you bill the extra, attach the same set. Starter is free to start — see Plans for storage, seats, and online payment fees.

Shoot it before you cover it
The extra work disappears behind new material. Change-order photos are the only record that it was there.
Same album as the job
Pin the address so extra-work stills sit with the rest of the job — not in a random text to the office.
Attach to the revised quote
Send the extra-work proof with the new estimate or invoice from the same page — stills or a live FWDLink.
Change order photos — FAQ
- What should change order photos include?
- The existing condition, context in the room or elevation, and enough detail that a client who is not on site can see why it is extra work — then keep those stills in the job album.
- When should I shoot extra-work proof?
- Before you cover it or haul it off. Change-order photos taken after the fact are just new work — they do not prove what you found.
- Can the owner approve extra work from the photo link?
- They can see the condition in the browser. You still send the revised estimate from the same page and attach the photos so the approval sits with the paperwork.
- Can my crew upload change-order stills from the field?
- Yes. Invite upload access to that job album. You still send the client link and the revised estimate.
- Can I attach change order photos to an invoice?
- Yes. Attach stills or a live FWDLink from the album when you bill the extra work — same workspace as the original job.
- How is this different from warranty photos?
- Change order photos prove extra work beyond the original scope. Warranty photos prove how an install was done. Keep both in the job album; they answer different questions.
